This is one of my favourite suppers, although there’s nothing that says you can’t serve this as a vegetable side. And you could also bolster it further by crumbling in some feta. But for me, it is perfect just as it is. Each serving provides 483 kcal, 17g protein, 39g carbohydrate (of which 14g sugars), 26g fat (of which 3.5g saturates), 15g fibre and 2.7g salt.
